Does Matos have to sit this one out ?  You'd think we need everything in our attacking arsenal to crack that Xanthi defence open.  Then again, I'd say Ivic has done the sums and deduced that we're now in a strong enough position as far as the play-offs are concerned so he's willing to take a chance.

On to the next one! A win here would be big.

Players not available for this game: Matos (accumulation of yellows), Biseswar (injury), Pelkas (injury), Henrique (red card). Canas likely to be out as well.

Kitsiou is very likely to play (and was pretty decent today, as a winger). Wouldn't expect to see more than a few minutes of Warda.

My lineup for Sunday:

------------------ Glykos -----------------
Kitsiou -- Valera - Crespo - Leovac
-------- Cimirot ------- Kace -----------
Mystakidis - Shakhov - Deligiannidis
---------------- Klaus -----------------------

Would not be surprised to see Brkic in goal. Malezas, Prijovic and possibly Warda to be subbed during the game.

I'm with you on this, I think we'll see this lineup too. Deligiannidis is literally the last person we have left who plays in that LW position and is familiar with the team.

My only real concern would be Brkic. I don't think he's another Olsen, but he is very very rusty.

 

If Ivic really doesn't think he's ready, though, we might see a 3-5-2. Kitsiou's skillset matches that of a wingback, and it would still allow Mistakidis to be played as a second striker.

Some good news - Campos is training normally with the team. Who knows if he'll play (or even travel) this weekend.

Some bad news - there's a fear that Canas might have ligament damage - the MRI is scheduled for today. He definitely won't be playing this weekend.

Man, Biseswar looks SO much more fit than before. He actually just outran someone.

Ha ha, he was TERRIBLE in the first half of the season.  Seriously made me wonder why we signed him.  Very glad he proved me wrong and then some.
